Von Blau und Schwarz gespalten, rechts ein halber rotbewehrter silberner Adler am Spalt, links ein linksgewendeter rotbewehrter und -bezungter goldener Löwe.

Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on June 12, 1974.

The village historically belonged to the Counts of Leiningen, which is symbolized by the eagle in the right half. The lion is the lion of the Dukes of the Pfalz-Zweibrücken and refers to the fact that Oberhausen historically was a possession of the Dukes.

Literature : Debus, 1988
